Giants place Blade Tidwell on IL with UCL sprain, call up Braxton Roxby

The San Francisco Giants have placed starting pitcher Blade Tidwell on the 15-Day Injured List due to a UCL sprain, which typically signals the need for Tommy John surgery. Tidwell exited the game against the Minnesota Twins on September 21 with elbow soreness, and the injury is likely to end his 2027 season as well. Braxton Roxby has been called up from AAA Sacramento to take Tidwell's place on the roster. Roxby previously made his MLB debut in August, pitching in two games for San Francisco. Additionally, the Giants are expected to make further roster moves following the confirmation that pitcher Landen Roupp's season is over.
